very dealer has a story to tell. Unfortunately most dealers have left this earth by now taking a lot of valuable information with them. The Doyle Potts dealership is one of those. All that remain are pictures and family members who are now regaining their interest in the family roots. Unfortunately not much is known about this particular dealership but sometimes a story is the best way to get information.

Over the years that I have been involved in the propane business I have been approached many times with questions about propane carburetion problems, especially on farm tractors. While there are a few occasions when the problem can be accountable to the LP fuel system, more often it is a combination of several small mechanical engine problems leading to some false conclusions about the real cause.

Fifty years ago, a quiet little town in Adams Co. Ohio was about to be turned upside down, literally. Peebles, OH, with a population of 1800, was a rural town dotted with quaint family farms. It was a self-contained village with all the businesses uptown that the residents needed. For many of those in Adams County, there was never a need to live the county. But this little town was about to become known world wide as the home of the World Plowing Match and Conservation Expo.

I first met Luke Rizzuto at the HPOCA summer show in Canandaigua, NY in 1999. The love of Oliver tractors, mostly Cletracs and Oliver Crawlers, started a lasting friendship until this day. Our visits have always included an adventure, and the best one happened in July of 2004 when we went in search of a Cletrac that had tumbled down a California canyon in the mid 1950's.
